Hi Lahni,
If I get to vote, I’d pick the Snowsuit over Love You Forever anyday!
And if I could recommend something, I’d suggest trying Seth’s “It’s A Good Life If You Don’t Weaken” or Chester Brown’s “Louis Riel” for a graphic novel. They were my first introduction to graphic novels, and not at all what I expected. I’ve been hooked ever since.
